And the bumper is back up...

miss2697 · April 2014

I removed the mesh bumper from LO's crib because I read that when they become mobile, they can use them to hoist themselves up. Well it's back up after I just ran into her room to find her screaming. Her chubby little leg got stuck and it took DH a while to get it out. Scariest moment ever. She was crying so hard. Sad day for mommy. She's sleeping now, but I can't wait for her to get up so I can snuggle her some more.

Awe. Just be careful. DD used those to spider-woman out of her crib at 11 months.

I've seen people putting the bumper on the outside of the crib. Makes it much harder to use it to climb out, but their little legs can't get through the slats.

@MRads What a great idea! Thanks!

Also a friend weaves hers in & out of the slats. Like a basket.

Glad she's ok!

LO still hasn't used his crib :-q

We didnt have bumpers til DD did this. She kept sticking her leg in but it wasnt stuck but one day it got so stuck we had to use baby oil to get it out.

@miss2697‌ That would scare the cap out of me too.

We have the mesh bumpers and lo is starting to pull herself up to standing in the crib. She's a daredevil so i wonder what will happen first: leg or arm stuck or climbing out :P

Sleep sacks!

I love these, but James was still able to lay sideways and get his legs stuck. He had a fever that day (I hadn't realized it yet because he was fine when he went down) and he was too sleepy to cry... He just kept whining then passing out. Finally I went in there and it took some force to free him. Poor little boy

Oh no! They worked like a charm for my first LO. Bummer that it's not a solution for you

( Sorry!

It hasn't happened again! So I'm still on the sleep sack band wagon.

I never even considered sleep sacks because LO despised the swaddle. We had to stop using them pretty quickly because she screamed bloody murder. She's a mover and a shaker!

A sleep sack discourage a baby climbing out of crib. We started using one when DS turned 3 month, too mobile for a swaddle. Never tried climbing out of crib. His baby deedee sleep nest still keeps him warm and cozy in his crib. I'm glad they have a size that goes up to 36 months. Hoping it would keep him a little longer in the crib.
